Kendra and Michael met the old fashioned way... Tinder! Kendra lived in Naperville, IL, for undergrad but knew she was moving to Charleston for Graduate school a few months later. Hoping to meet a nice southern man, she set her Tinder location to Charleston a little early. Michael and Kendra matched on Tinder and would Facetime regularly where they grew their relationship. They had their first date in May 2021 at the Pineapple Fountain, 3 months before she moved there. They would Facetime and talk on the phone 4-5 times a week because there was such a connection between the two of them. When Kendra moved to Charleston in August 2021, they started dating immediately and fell in love very quickly! The bride and groom got to experience their last year of college together before building their adult lives with their first jobs, buying a house, and building their little family with two beloved weenie dogs; Moobert and Mabel.
